No. When your system is set on the maintenance (slow) setting it feeds in small bite size amounts. It applies less fertiliser over the same period of time than applying in large amounts once every 6 weeks. Studies have shown that when plants are fed continually, in small amounts, they are healthier and more insect and disease resistant and require 70% to 80% less fertiliser.

It is why EZ-FLO is simply the best fertigation equipment on the market, it allows micro-dosing; just feeding the plants with enough for them to thrive, be healthy and vigorous.
